Do I need a terminal block or something like that or should I just connect back to a batt source on the ignition switch or headlamp switch?
Also the new heater blower switch has B terminal and an M terminal, assume B is for Batt/hot what is the M for?

Run a wire from the acessary side of the ign. switch to the fuse panel & short pieces of wire to each circuit you want to use. Than run a wire from each fuse to the acessary you want to power.

The Flasher should be powered using an inline fuse. If you don't want them to work with the ignition off than they should be powered from the igintion switch. However, I think the common way is to power them from the constant supply by hooking them up either to the amp meter or the acc terminal of the light switch. Again use an inline fuse. | | |

And yes I don't wnat them working unless the ignition is on, so I need to connect both to the IGN post on the ignition switch? | | |

one side of your ignition switch is live and the other side is switched. You want the switched side. | | |

Your rig is disabled by the side of the road..you're on your way to the gas station for fuel..do you want the ignition switch on! Just a thought.
